PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REASON/SOLUTION
Battery clips do not spark
when touched together.
The charger is equipped
with an auto-start feature.
It will not supply current
to the battery clips until
a battery is properly
connected. Unlike
traditional chargers, the
clips will not spark if
touched together.
No problem, this is a
normal condition.
BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS 17.
When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable 17.1
of accepting a normal charge. Use a good battery to double check all
connections, the AC outlet for a full 120-volts, the charger clips for correct
polarity and the quality of the connections from the cables to the clips and
from the clips to the battery system. The clips must be clean.
When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it will not draw
17.2
the full rated amperes from the charger. It is both dangerous and damaging
to a battery to force higher amperage into it than it can effectively use in
recharging.
When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the
17.3
complete manual and call the customer service number for information that
will usually eliminate the need for return.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem or for
information about troubleshooting or replacement parts,
call toll-free from anywhere in the U.S.A.
